Democratic Flier Idea: "PRO-LIFERS NEXT TARGET: YOUR GUNS" [View All]

Maybe it should go something like this:

You see, once the anti-choicers are done taking away the reproductive rights of women because they think it will save the lives of thousands of unborn children, they are going to move onto the next biggest life-taker: guns. That's right, guns. That's because guns are the result of at least 30,000 deaths in America a year. That's ten times the number of people who died in 9/11 and more than ten times the number of soldiers who've died in Iraq. That's a lot of life to save. I can see it now: picketers outside gun stores and gun shows with graphic photos of shotgun victims, most likely children.

But you say, "Guns are protected by the second amendment." And you'd be right. But reproductive rights were protected by the fourth amendment as well. All it's going to take is some loonie right-wing pro-life nut-cases in a state of like-minded individuals to kick-off the campaign for a complete ban on guns. They have the money to do it and they have the political capital to boot. And once Roe-v-Wade is overturned, they will have the legal precedent to do it as well.

So, if you want to keep your gun rights, start getting busy by speaking out against these crazy nut-cases that would rip apart the very U.S. Constitution that protects your right to keep and bear arms. To protect your rights, your going to have to protect the Constitutional rights of women. Fancy that.
